I'd suggest compiling mountd with debugging, running gdb on it (via
gdb's 'attach' command), and then doing whatever it is that you do
that causes it to crash...

If you do that, and tell us (or me 8-) what the traceback is, it'll
probably be much easier to debug.  Or, you could debug it yourself.
8-)
